Western Balkans
The University of Sarajevo is among the pioneering academic institutions in the Western Balkans to establish a dedicated Office for Climate Change and Sustainability, strategically aligned with the European Green Deal and the regional decarbonisation agenda.
In this way, the University positions itself as a regional hub for sustainability, climate resilience and green transition.
Through this Office, the University:
More Than an Office
A Driver of Change
Through the Sustainability Learning & Impact Platform (SLI), the Office turns knowledge into measurable and lasting impact.
Through accredited certification programmes, targeted training and strategic partnerships, SLI supports the integration of sustainability into education, research and institutional development.
“We don’t just teach sustainability — we live it, apply it and empower others to lead it.”
